Excellent- More about Research Handbook on Leave Policy: Parenting and Social Inequalities in a Global Perspective
This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of conceptual and methodological developments in leave policy research, with a focus on the interconnections between leave policy design and social inequalities. It examines the relevance of this correlation in various contexts, such as gendered care, employment practices, precarious work, informal economies, migration, family changes, and financial strains for parents. The editors argue that parental leave policy should be reconceived as a social right and consider whether there is a case to reconfigure leave policy as such.

This dynamic Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of conceptual and methodological developments in leave policy research, as well as state-of-the-art findings on leave policy determinants and outcomes globally. The topic of inequality is placed at the centre of the Research Handbook to strengthen the global debate and encourage broader thinking about the interconnections between leave policy design and social inequalities. Chapters illustrate the continued relevance of this correlation in the context of gendered care and employment practices, precarious, underinsured, and nonstandard employment, informal economies, migration, family changes, and growing financial strains for parents. Using parental leave policy as an empirical lens to further our understanding of the intersectional nature of social inequalities, the editors ultimately consider whether there is a case to reconfigure leave policy as a social right.
This incisive Research Handbook will be essential reading for a multi-disciplinary audience of students and scholars of social policy, family studies, gender studies, sociology, social work, and public policy. Its evaluation of cutting-edge developments in leave policy will also benefit national and international policy makers, as well as HR leaders interested in parenting leave best practice.
